Kit Crancer, chair of the Radiology Business Management Association Radiology (RBMA) Patient Action Network, and senior vice president of public policy for Rayus, explains RBMA's concerns over how the Trump administration's $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid will economically impact rural hospitals.

RBMA shares concerns over major Medicaid cut impacts

"It is almost a tidal wave of change from the federal level that is going to begin impacting state legislatures across the country. I think folks should probably be aware of that,” said RBMA's Kit Crancer.

Cardiologists develop new AI screening tool for structural heart disease

Researchers have developed an advanced AI model capable of detecting signs of severe AS, mitral regurgitation and other complications in ECG results. For example, one 84-year-old patient who was hospitalized for a fractured femur ended up being scanned and treated with TAVR just days later.

World’s first polymeric TAVR valve impresses cardiologists—could improve durability, reduce costs

The new-look TAVR system was linked to multiple benefits after one year. The cardiologists evaluating this device belief it could significantly reduce the risk of long-term valve degeneration.

The Relief System from Relief Cardiovascular Inc. is a first of its kind device. It incorporates a valve and sensor implant that uses AI to intelligently modulate venous pressure using hemodynamic data. The system actively adjusts flow in the inferior vena cava (IVC), which lowers venous pressure to drive durable decongestion in heart failure.

New AI-enabled heart failure implant shows early potential

The AI-powered Relief System is able to modulate venous pressure using hemodynamic data. The goal is to help patients better manage heart failure congestion at home.

Heart failure biomarker identifies long-term risk in T-TEER patients

NT-proBNP measurements are often used to diagnose and manage heart failure. According to a new study of more than 2,000 patients, they can also provide value to cardiologists performing T-TEER.

Cardiology groups to Trump administration: AI still has a long way to go

Multiple cardiology societies responded to an HHS request for public feedback by outlining some of the current barriers to wider AI adoption. "It is essential that any policy frameworks must reaffirm that clinicians—not algorithms—remain at the center of patient care," ACC President Christopher Kramer, MD, said. 

After traversing the aortic cusp with an electrified wire and balloon inflation, a stent is positioned inside the noncoronary cusp and deployed. Immediately after, a transcatheter aortic valve is expanded, and the stent is crushed on the left ventricular outflow tract wall and annulus, while anchored to the aortic valve leaflet.

Cardiologists perform first TAVR of its kind by anchoring valve to crushed stent

The patient, 78, presented with severe AR and no signs of calcification. She was considered a poor choice for surgery or traditional TAVR due to multiple risks. That is where the new-look ATLAS technique came in.

Did you make the list? CMS targets cardiologists for new heart failure payment model

More than 2,000 cardiologists are required to participate in the new payment model. According to CMS, the long-term goal is to track and reduce the high healthcare costs associated with treating heart failure.
